History[edit]


Settlement began in 1892 with the building of an army telegraph line and station between the city of Goiás (then the state capital) and Mato Grosso, breaking the isolation of the area. The name chosen was Itapirapuã, meaning "white stone from the pool of the fish", because it was near a deep pool in the river where a whirlpool was formed around a white stone. After half a century of stagnation the settlement received a push forward with the selling by the local government of lots to new settlers. In 1953 it became a district of Goiás, and in 1959 it separated from Goiás and became an independent municipality.[2]
